Booting from Xubuntu 15.04 installation media hangs when booting with UEFI

Question

I want to dual boot my laptop with Windows 10 and Linux. I'm attempting to install Xubuntu 15.04 x64 but when I boot from the installation media it hangs on starting version 219 then eventually my caps lock LED starts flashing and it reboots... rinse and repeat.

I've tried booting from CD and USB, both hang in the same spot. I've tried disabling secure boot and it still hangs. The only thing I can get to work is if I enable UEFI with CSM (Compatibility Support Module), then the installation media will boot and I can start the install.

I would prefer to not have CSM enabled since Xubuntu 15.04 claims to work with EFI and I would like to use EFI only. Anyone know what the deal is?

The laptops specs are as follows in case that might have something to do with it:

• Intel i7 5th gen processor
• 64 gigs system ram
• 2x Nvidia GeForce 980M with 8 gigs each
• Mostly SSDs configured in RAID 0 (Stripe)
• Secure Boot Enabled
• Fast Boot Disabled
• UEFI Enabled
• Windows 10 installed (was installed with UEFI enabled)
• Windows 10 Fast Startup is disabled
• Windows Boot Manager has lowest priority on boot

UPDATE

I tried the same things as above but with Fedora 22 and it produced the same results.

Answer 1

I asked this same question on the Ubuntu forums and was given an answer.

Basically just press 'e' on the grub menu while having the boot option selected that you want to use. Replace "quite splash" with "nomodeset" and press Ctrl+x or F10 to boot with the new options. This worked for me perfectly.
